Welcome to the Republican Party
Recently, while I was working in the flower beds in the front yard, my neighbors stopped to chat as they returned home from walking their dog. During our friendly conversation, I asked their little girl what she wanted to be when she grows up. She said she wanted to be President some day.
Both of her parents, liberal Democrats, were standing there so I asked her, “if you were President, what would be the first thing you would do”? She replied, “I’d give food and houses to all the homeless people.” Her parents beamed with pride! “Wow, what a worthy goal!” I said. “But you don’t have to wait until you’re President to do that,” I told her. “What do you mean,” she replied. So I told her, “you can come over to my house and mow the lawn, pull weeds and trim my hedge and I’ll give you $50. Then, you can go over to the grocery store where the homeless guy hangs out and give him the $50 to use for food and towards a new house.” She thought that over for a few seconds then looked me straight in the eye and asked, “why doesn’t the homeless guy come over and do the work and you can just pay him the $50”? I said, “welcome to the Republican Party.” Her parents haven’t spoken to me since.

Here's an actual, original story. My neighbor across the street is a small business owner, he owns a moblie mechanical repair business. The guy next door to him is an ex-convict with a storied and violent past, "Joe"....whom no one will hire, even in the best of times. He invaded the home of an 80+ year old man, beat him nearly to death, stole a little money and the guys deceased wifes jewelry. Then took the old mans car keys and took off in the stolen car. He did 15 years for that. He had prior convictions for violent behavior. One day the three of us were having a nice conversation when Grady, the Republican business owner, started telling the criminal psychopath, Joe; "Man, I'd give you a job in a minute, but I can't 'cuz that fuckin' Obama has my hands tied.", to which I commented, trying to hide my sarcasm; "Oh, I know you would and it's a damn shame you can't." Grady shot me a look that told me he knew I was being sarcastic. Earlier this summer, I saw Grady painting his logo on a brand new van. I strolled over and asked, "New van?" "Yep, this is number three, man." "Cool. So, you've hired another mechanic." "Yep, starts Monday." "Joe" "Joe? Hell, no. I'm not hiring that whackjob." Apparently he didn't recall the prior conversation. Or, maybe he did, I dunno. I just left it alone. But, he's full of shit. Most of them are. Dave

It's been floating around the Interweb for months and it took this long for you to take the bait. Congratulations.

Two things gave it away for me. Flowers don't grow in the Central California desert and even if there were, Republicans in California don't work in their own gardens. They have illegal immigrants for that (who they like). They just dislike everybody else's.

Lolz! I noticed that your first reference was from one of those "balanced" web sites. Looks like the folks over there went nuts over it.
I found the joke over at one of the auto web sites yesterday and didn't spend the entire weekend researching it, lol. I got a good chuckle out of it and thought it would be a big hit over here. Waiting for more angry replies. Murray
